TREKKING IN NANDADEVI HIMALAYAS

Nanda Devi Trekking TOURS Duration: 10 DAYS

Nanda Devi National Park is situated in Chamoli district of
Uttaranchal. The spectacular panoramas of peaks encircling the
National Park are Trishul (7120 m) Dunagiri (7066 m) Nanda Devi
(7817 m) Nanda Devi East (7430 m) Bethartoli (6352 m) etc.. The
beautiful surroundings with abundant flora and fauna like Brahma-Kamal
and Bharal (blue mountain goat) make this a sanctuary of nature.

In 1982 access to trekkers into the Nanda Devi National Park was
banned to protect its biodiversity. The Nanda Devi National Park,
which has been declared a world heritage site, has been partially
opened recently for restricted number of tourist.

Sir Edmund Hillary, in his autobiography, has described that the
“Nanda Devi Sanctuary is God-gifted wilderness-India’s-training
ground for adventure”……

The visitors will move in groups. Each group will consist of maximum
of five visitors. Not more than two groups are permitted in one day

above 14 years will be allowed to go inside the park. It will be
mandatory for all the tourists to obey and observe all the
provisions of wildlife protection act inside the park area.
